FT account suddenly disallowed from posting?
I know it's against the TOS to have two accounts, blah, blah, but I didn't have much choice here.
I tried to change the e-mail address on my "real" FT account (studentff) on Friday, and suddenly I am unable to post or edit any information in "My Flyertalk."
Selecting any link in "my flyeralk" says I don't have permission to access the page. The little "posting rules" box at the lower left basically says I don't have permission to do anything. I never received an e-mail at the new address requesting activation.
There's no way I've done anything offensive as I hadn't posted anything in the last week. And nobody's ever complained about my posts to my knowledge.
Please somebody fix my account.
Somebody please also consider allowing users that are mysteriously/needlessly "blocked" by this new software to post in the Technical Issues forum or something like that so that they have some redress to fix their problems. It's extremely frustrating to be completely blocked like this for no reason whatsoever. IMHO the new software is trying to do too much "stuff" beyond the basics (i.e., rating users, banning users willy-nilly, etc.) which is resulting in these sorts of problems in addition to the (slowly getting better) speed problems.
I'm posting because I wonder how may other users have been suddenly silenced by this situation/bug (obviously they can't reply either unless they do what I've done.)
Thanks,
(studentff)

I looked at the list of banned users, and you are not there, so no one has deactivated your account.
I am not sure what happened, have you tried requesting the system to send you your password, or is it that you can log in, but in fact don't have any permission whatsoever?

You may not post new threads
You may not post replies
You may not post attachments
You may not edit your posts
studentff, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation

Thanks for looking into this,

I'm back!
Thanks to Dan who fixed my account, which somehow ended up in "email-address-change limbo" and was locked out from any activity.
Strangely enough the e-mail address change that triggered this has gone through, though I never got any sort of confirmation e-mail.
Oh well.
